Thais Like Fair Skin Beauties While Farangs Like Dark Skin Beauties?

[nokia]

Nature made it so that humans will be attracted to the opposite of what they are (blacks like whites, farangs like dark skinned women (mostly the farangs that are in Thailand, thats why they are here), dark women like white women etc.) to prevent inbreeding and to diversify the genes. It's known that mutts have better survival chance than pure breeds, so this is the truth behind it.

It's an interesting theory, but not true. Like is more attracted to like than opposites. When a white guy goes for a black woman, it's usually a black woman with white features and visa versa.

The skin colour of asian women is a status thing, pure and simple. Fair skin denotes a higher social status than darker skin. There's more to attraction than pure physical appearance.

When Farang come to Asia (Thailand), they are willing to overlook social status and they usually don't have a huge pool of fair skinned Thai girls to choose from anyway.

Well said, but i noticed that luk kreung beauties (excluding those top models) dont usually get a higher status than fair skin beauties although they may be a few shades fairer. Perplexing....

I am not a shallow man.

If they are beautiful with nice, tight butts, full lips and hot bodies, I do not discriminate about skin color.

They also should have their own hair and teeth.....

Man, you guys are seriously delusional. Let me just make some factual observations:

*Most falang men prefer light-skinned women. 99% of the falang men on this planet are with light-skinned women, i.e., falang women.

*Attractive Thai women (by Thai standards) who are educated and reasonably well-off are almost always with Thai men.

*Successful and/or attractive Thai men prefer light-skinned, Thai women.

*Even dark skinned Thai women prefer Thai men, all things being equal, but know that "good" Thai men are not attracted to them. So they either choose a poor Thai guy with no prospects or a falang. Some choose the latter.

*Falangs will date any young Thai woman, but if they tried to date exclusively attractive Thai women (by Thai standards), they would have difficulty getting a date, let alone get laid.

The bottom-line is this: When I walk out my door, I see falang men with dark, monkey-faced, hideous Thai women. When I see an attractive Thai girl (by Thai standards) she is almost always—heck forget the almost—always with a Thai guy. This is reality. Everything else is just noise.

Pretty much spot on except for that uncalled for insult at the end.

Naturally, there will always be exceptions to the above generalizations.

As an informal litmus test, teachers/office managers/etc. here can do an informal survey (used to be part of my teaching routine a decade ago to get people to stop saying "spec" : as in the local saying "what's your spec?" or taste in the opposite sex). For gals, the answer is almost always "kao, tee, sung, sai wan." (pale, Chinese, tall, wearing glasses). With the next most common answer being "sung, kem." (tall and dark... along the ol' talk dark and handsome lines). It's all the same whether asking ethnic Thais, Thai Chinese, Indians/Sikhs, or even mia falang. When you turn it around and ask the guys, it's "kao, suay, muay, x" (pale, pretty, Chinese, and sexy). It doesn't matter if you're asking ethnic Thais, Thai Chinese, or Indian/Sikhs.

There's an unfair double standard out there where dark guys get a pass, but dark girls get snubbed.

There are not that many young farang in Thailand. Most of the farang in Thailand marry a women much younger than them. Are you really going to say Ping(25) choose to marry Joe(26) instead of David from Australlia(58) is a conclusion that white skinned Thai women have no interest in farang?

David choose to marry Boo(21) from Roi Et because Boo thought David was better than Sook, her second cousin who works in 711.

The main reasons farang end up with dark skinned women:

1. Most farang getting married are marrying someone much younger than they are. The white skinned girls are more likely to have better options than an old man.

2. The dark skinned girls are more likely to pursue a farang. They are more likely to return his smile. They are more likely to work in the restaurant he eats in or the hotel he stays at.

3. Rich families pressure their daughter's on who they choose to marry.

This is not a dig to Asian males but assuming that women care about things like height and masculinity, most Asian males don't come very close. In the USA, there is a light hearted joke that Asian guys can't get a hot caucasion girl friend. Of course, most of the farang in Thailand are lucky if they aren't bald yet and their body is still pumping blood let alone testosterone.

Here is another point, you rarely see a white skinned educated rich Thai girl with a short Thai male. Have you noticed that all the modelish looking Thai girls seem to end up with the modelish looking Thai guys? Who would have thought it? Short thai males do worse than tall Thai males when it comes to getting girls?

This whole thing is silly and if anything it resinates the fact that if the world was a high school and they sorted farang to different classes (countries), Thailand would be for the mentally handicapped.

Sincerely,

a young, rich and handsome farang

Yet, netting out Tony's, yours and my responses, this thread still has 91 responses! Silly, yes; popular absolutely, although I am not sure why.

[RoyalOrchid]

a.

similar individuals tend to be attracted to each other because they are most likely to hold down a stable relationship.

but here we are talking about "not very stable" relationships, in fact more like "weekly" or "daily" relationships... therefore, the opposits here do attract..

[ade100]

Of course opposites attract. Take me for example. I am a highly educated, professional, white male, fluent in three languages with several university degrees and several off-shore bank accounts. So what is my ideal woman? Obviously a Burmese labourer with no education, no money who can barely speak her own language. I’m just hanging out on construction sites every day hoping to find her.

[RoyalOrchid]

Are you really: a highly educated, professional, white male, fluent in three languages with several university degrees and several off-shore bank accounts.

wow! if you are also good looking, young and slim what r you doing in Thailand? Well, the Burmese women would be certainly attracted to you!!

Ooohhh! So your the one white guy the rest of us heard about, those lucky Burmese ladies!!

I think you should consider a new career as a social commentator.

My wife refuses to go out unprotected from the sun, yet most of her family are dark skinned. How the heck do you tell your other half it does not matter, when to them it so obviously does?

Don't know. You might try telling her the chemicals in those products are probably very damaging, though.

One chemical in particular called Hydroquinone, it has recently been banned from many countries though not in Thailand, it has been proven to have links with cancer.

Between the dust, dirt, sand, wind, rain, sun, and a host of other bad to the bone elements, they need all the protection they can muster. I'm surprised they don't have MORE stuff on.

Maybe it is actually your own mental 'boxes' you are describing, and not the individuals you are trying to fit into them?

Maybe it's just my observation but i noticed that farangs are less often seen with fair skin beauties. Is it because they are a rare species, found only in the north, or maybe, they are much harder to woo or it takes awful long time ... Any care to elucidate?

OK, not PC, but many of the farangs you see are with sex workers, and sex workers are mostly from Isaan, and people from Isaan are often darker (I don't know if naturally or from working outside, or both).

i''m sure there are fair skin sex workers in/from Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai too etc.

3. Rich families pressure their daughter's on who they choose to marry.

IMO there are plenty of young falang in Thailand, it's just that Thailand tends to "age" them rather quickly.

As your point 1) above: having options and being interested in someone aren't very different things. Darker skinned gals as mentioned, simply have fewer options... so of course they might seem to be more "interested" in farangs. There are plenty of light skin local gals with "worse" options out there as well (the same as darker skinned gals), and they are certainly not from well to do families per point 3), yet overall, again it's mostly darker skin girls

who end up with farangs. As for point 2) again, IMO that's because of a lack of options that darker skinned gals have. It's similar to the situation that African American women often have to deal with.

One thing you're spot on about is that they are more likely to work in restaurants, hotels, and just about any daily wage type occupation (although there are plenty of lighter skinned girls doing the same as well).

I don't believe this thread is silly.

I was married to one of these fair skinned beauties for almost eight years.

What I can say is that she along with both older and younger sisters and most friends were obsessed

with being as white as possible.

Magazines on the head while walking outside and avoiding all sun exposure if possible.

Makes ya wonder...

Makes ya wonder if they weren't actually quite smart protecting themselves against skin cancer and premature aging of their skin.

We do need "some " sunshine to promote good health.

They just went to the extreme I guess, I used to tease them and ask if they were vampires...

What do you mean there are young farang in Thailand but they age fast?

How old is the average Thai women at marriage? What is the averag age of her husband?

So if I am wrong, why is it that you think only the most desperate of Thai women end up with farangs?

[Ulysses G.]

why is it that you think only the most desperate of Thai women end up with farangs?

I wouldn't go to bed with me either, if I had any choice in the matter.

Well, and this doesn't apply to all, but with the exception of young retirees, Thailand can be a real meat grinder for those who move here and attempt to thread water and support themselves and often entire extended families with a single income source. That ages folks.

As for your second question, not what the demographics are.

I didn't say you were wrong, I simply added that there are plenty of desperate women out there who don't end up with farangs.

At nite, just drive around the CM moat,or pass Loh Kroh rd, and you can see quite alot of fair skin, scantily clad gurls standing outside the pubs. oh they are just guest relations officers, ic.

[blizzard]

chiang mai girls r fair skinned and a lot do cum to the big city to help relieve stress of the man.

its the issarn who are reportedly blac black, although many r fair skinned just like the chng mai grls.

ask a chiang mai gurl if she from issarn and they quicly and loudly say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....................................................

it seems cumming from issarn has the same connotation as cumming from harlem in usa.

I think dark skin beauties is more appropriate. To each & every farang who has/had a dark skin wife, gf or gik, she's definitely a beauty in his sight, because he chose her out of many. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it exists in the mind which contemplates them.

Most farang have gfs who are younger or much younger than them. Few have gfs who are a decade or two older than them. Even if someone in his 60's chooses a dark skin "beauty" in her 80's, she'll still be a "beauty" to him but not to others. Love is blind.

[blizzard]

love is blind but relative beauty is not! and i doubt in most cases lub has anyhing to do with it.............lol.
